Q: How do I care for my tattoo?

A: The life of your tattoo depends on the care it receives in the first 2 weeks. Keep the cling film for a minimum of two to three hours. Remove the bandage and gently but thoroughly cleanse the area with antibacterial soap and water. Remove all surface blood and ointment. Pat dry with a clean towel and let air dry for a couple of hours. Wrap it again in cling film before bed. Repeat the wash in the morning, pat dry and apply the Fixomull bandage. Keep it on your new tattoo for 5-6 days. To remove, wet in the shower and gently peel off. Then apply an even, thin amount of white, scent-free lotion, such as Cetaphill moisturising lotion. Be sure to apply the lotion with clean hands. Too much ointment can suffocate your new tattoo and prevent it from healing properly. Wash and apply lotion once a day for 2 weeks. 

Notes:

  • Do not re-bandage your tattoo
  • Do not pick, rub, scratch, or aggravate the area
  • Do not let your tattoo dry out
  • Do not submerge your tattoo in water for the first 2 weeks (no beach, pool, hot tub, sauna, or bath)
